How’s your old DeLorme PN-20 doing? And in this fast world in which technology evolves faster than we can adapt to it, old might mean bought yesterday. So if you bought the PN-20 yesterday you should ask for a refund, DeLorme is launching their new PN-40.

Here’s what the DeLorme PN-40 GPS brings to the table:

• Super high-sensitivity 32-channel Cartesio chipset by STMicroelectronics for better signal acquisition and ConstantLock™ satellite retention
• Dual-core processor
• 500 MB of onboard Flash memoryand up to 1 GB total hard drive
• 3-axis electronic compass with included accelerometer
• Sensitive barometric altimeter for reliably accurate altitude readings
• Supports SDHC high-capacity SD cards, 32 GB or higher
• Fast USB 2.0 data transfer to internal memory or SD card in device
• More detailed base map data for the U.S., now with secondary and connector roads; along with major highways and thoroughfares for the entire world
• 65K-color daylight-readable TFT screen for clarity in any light conditions
• WAAS-enabled for accuracy within 3 meters
• Topo USA 7.0 software with complete U.S topo and street maps included—no extra purchase required. Also displays USGS 7.5-min quads, aerial imagery, and NOAA nautical charts via online download from DeLorme.

Unfortunately you won’t be getting the PN-40 tomorrow as it will be released only somewhere this autumn. The price? Well the PN-20 costs about $400 so you figure it out.
